Y. Abramovitsh's Bilingualism --3.Baron "In the Closet": An Epistemology of the "Women's Section" --4.Stormy Divorce: The Sexual Politics of the Hebrew-Yiddish "Language War.""A Marriage Made in Heaven is a history of how Hebrew and Yiddish came to represent the masculine and feminine faces, respectively, of Ashkenazic Jewish culture. It is the first book-length exploration of the historical associations between Yiddish and Jewish women and Hebrew and Jewish men, tracing these associations back to the seventeenth century and the sexual segregation of reading audiences. Documenting the eventual rise of Yiddish "women's" literature, Seidman also examines this sexual-linguistic system as it shaped the work of two bilingual authors: Sh. Y. Abramovitsh, the "grandfather" of modern Hebrew and Yiddish literature, and Dvora Baron, the first woman prose writer in modern Hebrew. She then analyzes the roles Yiddish "femininity" and Hebrew "masculinity" played in the Hebrew-Yiddish language wars, the divorce that ultimately ended the Hebrew-Yiddish "marriage.""--Jacket.Contraversions ;7.JewsLanguagesJewish womenLanguagesBilingualismLanguages in contactYiddish languageHebrew languageJewish womenBooks and readingLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCMiddle Eastern Languages & LiteraturesHILCCJewsLanguages.Jewish womenLanguages.Bilingualism.Languages in contact.Yiddish language.Hebrew language.Jewish womenBooks and reading.Languages & LiteraturesMiddle Eastern Languages & Literatures306.44/089/924Seidman Naomi1115411DLCDLCBOOK9910495873803321A marriage made in heaven2866656UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
